If a child’s bera has not elicited waveform at 90 DB it means child is unable to listen to sounds which are as loud as when spoken through a loudspeaker. If you have doubts regarding the way the test was done please get it done once again. The child nerve of hearing is weak, this will require to be assessed for cochlear implant candidacy
This can cost anywhere between 6-15 laks per ear.
Many state governments across India sponsor such surgeries. Kindly meet a specialist who is in cochlear implant field
